Turtle Walks are a unique program allowing visitors to learn about and observe the nesting and egg-
laying process of loggerhead sea turtles and Juno Beach is one of the densest nesting sites for loggerhead
sea turtles in the world.
Nesting is highest for loggerhead sea turtles in June and July. During these months, we offer turtle walks
to the public Tuesday-Saturday under a required permit issued by the state of Florida. Once registered for
an evening, visitors come to the center to enjoy an informative presentation on the plight of sea turtles and
engage in a variety of hands-on learning experiences. At this time our experienced Loggerhead Marinelife
Center scouts are on the designated section of Juno Beach in search of activity. If the scouts spot a
loggerhead sea turtle carrying out her nesting process, they will radio to bring the group down to watch.

there’s no way to know the exact duration from night to night, the program is officially scheduled from 9pm to 12 am.This will depend

been spotted by midnight, the program concludes. We cannot guarantee a turtle will carry out her nesting process on the evening of
your scheduled program. Turtles do not RSVP and the Center cannot offer refunds, however all ticket sales directly benefit Loggerhead

Due to our State issued permit requirements, we can only accommodate a small number of people per night and dates fill up

quickly. There is no relationship between sea turtle nesting activity and the phase of the moon, the weather, or the tides. All scheduled
